One Pot Chickpea Pasta

This is definitely one of those recipes that was a pleasant surprise when it came to serving it to my family. I always liked it, but I never dreamed my kids would enjoy it. However, they devour it every time I make it! The flavors are simple, but really...

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These might be one of my favorite cookies ever! I have a few seasonal cookies that we make that I just love, but when I am looking for a good basic cookie I feel like these are always perfect! While I enjoy oatmeal raisin cookies occasionally, I prefer these...

Sesame Chicken Tenders

I love this Asian inspired dish!  While I don’t often like to bread my chicken (it saves on the calories), I enjoy this one for a nice change, and the breading helps the chicken stay nice and tender and juicy. My kids also love it, probably because it reminds them...

Fried Rice

Chicken Lettuce Wrap Salad

I love the idea of lettuce wraps; however, any time I served them to my family they were a mess and no one seemed that into them. They would fall apart when the kids tried to eat them and we all needed 5 napkins.  This recipe was born out of...

Southwest White Chicken Chili

It’s good to be back after taking some time off with lots of transitions for our family and the busy holiday season on top of it. Right now we are in a season where we have tons of different things going on and schedules are crazy. I find myself...

Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats

I don’t know about at your house, but at my house mornings are often busy even if we aren’t immediately going somewhere. As everyone is waking up and hungry and needing various things, I sometimes feel like it can be hard to make a breakfast that requires a lot...
